Observer Columnist Releases First Book
Carol Round, a retired Jay High School teacher and weekly columnist for The Grove Observer, will be signing copies of her book titled, A Matter of Faith, at Sissy’s Place in both Jay and Grove on Wednesday, February 21.
The book is a collection of her weekly faith-based column, by the same name, that appears in ten Oklahoma newspapers and Capper’s, a regional publication in Topeka, Kansas with a circulation of over 200,000.
Ms. Round began writing a faith-based column after a Missouri newspaper editor suggested a need for one. Her weekly inspirational column has garnered emails from readers with comments like “Read your Matter of Faith. WOW! What a great truth and well written,” and “Carol…such a powerful message in a very confused hurting world. God bless you!”
Since her first column was released a year ago in the “Claremore Progress,” Ms. Round has written more than 52 columns, inspiring her readers to deepen their relationship with the Lord.
“When I receive an e-mail from a reader, commenting on one of my columns,” she says, “it reminds me how good God is to use my writing to help others. I am truly blessed by Him; in turn, I want to bless others.”
Her messages always take an honest, and sometimes humorous, look at the struggles all humans have with fears, uncertainty, self-esteem and relationships, as well as life’s joys and surprises.
Her first book signing in Claremore, where Ms. Round now resides, was held in December. The book is now in its second printing.
Ms. Round will be signing copies of her book at the bookstores from 10 a.m. until noon at Jay and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Grove. Her books are available for $10.
